Glasgow’s City Building has added to its list of favoured specialist trade contractors following an initially low uptake by firms.
City Building was set up six years ago from the former Building Services Department of Glasgow City Council.
Its annual turnover is now around £200m, and the company mostly works on housing contracts in the city.
The group invited firms to join its supply chain of specialists in August 2011, but failed to attract enough companies.
Following a retendering last August, City Building has now signed up more firms to its framework. The new framework will run until 2014.
All existing companies on the framework will remain as such.
The list of firms added to City Building’s framework is as follows:
Piling
Roger Bullivant
